GWD-12-33 一道Boldfaced题

gonghao

我们应该更多的注重原文的意思：

原文说，先说买自己银行的股票surprising，然后说银行的管理者对银行的情况很了解，那么买自己银行的股票来显示说银行要倒闭的说法是夸大了。

然后注意下面一段：However, the available information about the bank’s condition is from reliable and informed sources, and corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition.  On balance,

注意on balanace，说了黄颜色和绿颜色的两段是银行的管理者需要平衡的两种情况，1.银行情况确实不佳因为，2.有时他们确实买自己银行的股票来平息担心

文章要说的是，经理们买股票是另有原因的，及文章所说calm down worries。So A is the best answer. therefore 是结论的主要标志词，从行文上来说也是最佳了

这个题目同意答案为A，第一毫无疑问，文章的主要结论是On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example.记住，therefore的结论肯定是作者的主要所要总结的东西，至于前面提到的什么银行要垮台等显然是被用来支持作者的结论：经理sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition。其实比较绕的是前半部分选项，circumstances是什么意思，不管他了，看c选项，The first provides evidence to
defend the position that the argument seeks to establish against
opposing positions; 提供了支持作者立场的证据，这个立场是作者在辩论过程中建立起来并用来反对相反的立场的。但是文章显然没有opposing positions。不知道这样理解c选项的错误有没有问题。而A选项则是“描述了一个情况，而对这种情况的解释是文章要讨论的话题。根据文章，的确是根据出现的这个情况，作者提出对这种情况的解释，然后作者得出结论。
如果理解有误，请大虾们支出啊

我觉得： 第一句说银行主管收购银行股份引出了讨论，第二句是说明市场对此事件的反应以及银行经营危机的背景内容。since开头的第三句是对第二句的理论支持。However转折了一下,说出另一种理论上的可能性，既管理层的信息来源更可靠，他们收购股票可能是为了平息市场上的风言风语。On balance, therefore, it is likely that the executives of the bank are following this example.给出全文结论。综合考虑之后，分析者倾向第二种观点，following this example应该指最近的however之后的内容。

请大家指教。

再把这个帖子顶上去……

还是不明白，Several of a certain bank’s top executives have recently been purchasing shares in their own bank难道不是描述的现象么？为什么A不对啊？

 The first present a circumstance for argument of purpose of the executive hare repurchase. Then the author interpret such behavior as an exaggeration of the known bank crisis. Thereafter, the author arguing from the counter perspective by introducing another behavior incentive that is to calm the worry for the investors. Finally the author say “ on balance”, that is under all the light of circumstances, it is likely to be something… On balance has same meaning as In conclusion.

 

“the second states a conclusion that is drawn in order to support the main conclusion of the argument.” You probably consider the following part as the main conclusion of the passage: “corporate executives do sometimes buy shares in their own company in a calculated attempt to calm worries about their company’s condition.” Indeed I made the same mistake before as you. This judgment, indeed, is the counter evidence introduce to rebut the prior judgment made, and both judgments serve as part of entire reasoning process to reach the conclusion---“ On balance” Without prior two counter judgment made, there would be no grounds for making the claim that “On balance…”

由于没有足够的时间看BF，所以只是跳读，这里的however害死个人了，唉！
